WHAT IS YOGA NIDRA?
Yoga Nidra, is a deep relaxation technique that takes the practitioner into a state of conscious sleep where the body is completely relaxed, yet the mind remains awake and alert. The practitioner is led through a sequence of verbal instructions incorporating a series of breath, body, and awareness techniques. Unlike meditation, which requires focusing on a single point, Yoga Nidra facilitates deep relaxation by withdrawing the senses internally.
The practice guides individuals between wakefulness and dreaming, a threshold where the subconscious mind is most receptive. This makes deep-seated transformative work possible at mental, emotional, and even physical levels.
Whether you seek solace from stress, deep restorative sleep, or a connection with your innermost self, the path of Yoga Nidra is an odyssey worth embarking upon. Its benefits are vast and profound, offering a sanctuary for the mind, body, and soul. By practicing Yoga Nidra, we allow ourselves to enter a state of deep relaxation, where we can release tension and let go of the worries that weigh us down. This practice not only rejuvenates our physical body but also rejuvenates our spirit, allowing us to tap into our inner wisdom and find a sense of peace that transcends the chaos of the outside world

“Give me a fever and I can cure anything.”
Hippocrates
For centuries, heat has been used as a curative tool. Heating the body’s core temperature even slightly can kill bacteria and viruses, and speed the process of recovery from colds and other ailments. Heat causes an increase in metabolic rate, and results in increased calorie burn, weight loss and fat burning. Sweating helps to keep the body detoxified and the skin clean and pliant. And heat builds aerobic capacity by opening respiratory passages, causing the lungs to work harder, and the heart to pump faster.
Wellness Forum Hot Yoga offers the benefits of other forms of yoga; improved balance and coordination, concentration, stress reduction, strength, flexibility and fitness. Our classroom is heated to 105°, and the humidity is 40%. Practicing yoga in a hot, moist room allows muscles to stretch more, which improves flexibility and range of motion. This means both less chance of injury and faster recovery of tight, strained and pulled muscles; and injured joints.
